OK! I incorporporated @moyer566 footprints. Seems like a lot of people like this idea. Also, made a blue background for shirt and white lettering.
I like the idea of everyone using the same image and everyone get's their own color and style of shirt on their own. I can adjust the image to make it more nuetral, but using the blue background for now since a lot of people like a blue shirt.

here is a place where you can upload your own logo to this website and get your own shirt. Not sure for non-US places tho.
Nice line of performance shirts.

Here's an idea of what it looks like. There is a minimum of 6 shirts per design though.
http://www.customink.com/proof_page?cid=aeg0-00ad-kfwq
If I bought 6 shirts of that design and shirt style, the cost would be $24.06 per shirt.
Maybe a few people can agree on a shirt style and color and have them shipped to a single place, then make agreements on how to send it where it needs to go?
Realize that shipping from one location to another will be an added cost and would be up to the lead for each group to make it known to everyone else.0 -
@Stoshew71 Is it a minimum of the same 6 style shirts or can you mix styles to hit the minimum? Also, do you know if they need to be the same sizes?
ETA...I really like the footprints too.0 -

@Virkati I know it doesn't have to be the same size. But it did complain it wanted 6 from the same shirt style. If I call them and tell them different people will want to order from the same design logo but different style shirt or color, they may have an idea on how to do that, and maybe a way to ship it to different locations rather than a single location. I haven't put much effort into how to order shirts as much as the design. :-)
But it looks like this website does offer a lot of options on how to place orders. I can look more into it.

Chat session with an agent at CustomInk
Leslie: We do at CustomInk are best used by shipping and printing in bulk---we are unable to have an order ship to different parts of the country and aren't able to ship internationally unless it is for military customers with APO or FPO addresses
Leslie: One option we have is to use the group order form in which everyone can enter their own payment and sizing info---but it still has to be shipped to 1 location
Leslie: If you wanted everyone to just create their own you could possibly create a design and tell everyone to order their own using one of the products we have with no minimum
Stan: Do you have a list of products that have no minimum? Also, what is your minimum?
Leslie: Our minimum for most shirts and products is at least 6 to be ordered but we do have a very large list with no minimum so that everyone can just get 1 shirt or sweatshirt--let me get you that list really quick
Leslie: No minimum list
http://www.customink.com/categories/no-minimum/96/styles
Leslie: I have one other suggestion for you as well!
Stan: ok?
Leslie: We do have a sister company called Booster--they are actually setup to ship individually and accept individual payments. How this works is you setup a campaign and can offer different products with that design for everyone to chose from. It acts like an "online" closet in some sense. You can even fundraise as well if you wanted Check out Booster
http://www.booster.com/
Leslie: I have supported Booster in the past so I do know a little bit on how it works--but to get more in depth answers to questions I would suggest reaching out to them
Stan: Great. Thank you very much. You have been helpful.
Leslie: No problem Stan! Was there anything else I could help out with today?
Stan: That is all for now.
Leslie: Okay well if any questions come up from the CustomInk side of things let me know! You can chat right back in for me--I'll be here!
Leslie: I hope you have a great day and New Year!
Stan: Thank you. You as well.

I looked into the Booster idea. It seems the minimum is too high (11) and not a very good selection of shirts (no performance tees). The closest they have is a 50/50 shirt.
But they will ship each order to individuals.
Otherwise, that resorts us to maybe coming up with maybe 2 or 3 styles on CustomInk and if the minimum of 6 is not met then you will have to order your own as a No Minimum product.
Each person orders their own shirt and size but for each shirt product it would have to get shipped to a central location and then that person ships to the end person.

I'll second, or third the non gender specific, Blue would almost have to be our mfp color. I'm all about being seen out there. I'd go chartreuse. White may be a bit dicey, but I'm in.
As far as the design- Consider putting our mfp names on the back like the race shirts have sponsors listed? Or banded around the shirt, like stripes, small-ish, various fonts?.I'd be like we are running together... I realize that maybe an added expense.
I can also ship someone their shirt- no problem.
WE NEED A GROUP NAME. " Stan's little runners"? Lol!, so JK!
Run Byte's ? Diggin' runs? ! Ha-ha! Sound like a potty joke!
I'm so lame! Ha-ha!

OK! What does everyone think of this idea? It will make the price of the shirt go up? I would add to the back of the all MFP names of everyone that add's a comment to this thread.
If we agree to add this, what does everyone think of the "sponsor" style or any of the other suggestions @Elise4270 has above? I do like the "sponsor" idea.
Plus I am pretty sure we are set on the footsteps with "Challenge Accepted" design. I am going to see if I can make three options for short sleeve tech shirts. Blue ladies, blue men's (or nuetral), orange man's (nuetral) -- or suggest something else. There may be a way to do it using the booster site so everyone can order their own and have it delivered to yourself. Out of US may need to get a US person to help. In any case, each design will have to meet the minimum (which is usually 6 using CustomInk directly- or 11 using booster). Otherwise, it won't get printed and you will have to buy your own (no minumum shirt) by using the design that I can supply. If we go with CustomInk directly, then the shirt will have to be shipped to a single member and then shipped from that member to everyone else. So there would be an additional shipping fee paid to whoever volunteers as a central shipper.
Now if we go with the booster's idea, it is really designed as a fundraiser where a profit has to be made. So I was thinking of just establish the profit to go to a charity. I like Wounded Warrior's. Any other ideas?0 -
I like the @Elise4270 sponsor idea. Also like Wounded Warriors as a charity. I'd also nominate Khan Academy.0

Realistically, I have enough shirts. I likely won't get one of these unless you come up with a design that's so cool I can't resist it; and of course, I have no idea what design that would be. I'm slightly more likely to buy a singlet, because that's the weak part of my running wardrobe right now. As I look at my closet, I can see the day coming when I'll have to retire race shirts to make room. The cotton and cotton/polyester shirts have already been relegated to a pile that I cycle through as sleepwear.0

Feel free to take the design and get a singlet made on your own. Then you can race with the rest of us on your back (our names at least haha).0 -
Stan thanks for running (pun intended) with this idea. I love the footprints.0

This so far would be what the back looks like. I am waiting to see if anyone else wants a shirt and will place their name on as well. The Wounded Warrior & Khan Academy would only go on the shirt if we use the Booster site which forces the order form to be used as a fundraiser. Otherwise, I am open to any other ideas.

OK! This is what the order form would look like.
https://www.booster.com/mfp-running-challenge-shirts
(We can only donate to a single charity so the back of the shirt will only reflect that.)
Anyone else have an opinion on a charity? So far I am going with Wounded Warrior.
So in order to print the shirts for this particular design and to use the Booster site (in order to ship directly to each person) the price of the shirt will be $35 and 10 shirts need to be ordered.
The shirt I went with is New Balance Tempo Performance Shirt - Royal Your Design:1 Color Front, 1 Color Back
It may be cheaper if we went with only 1 design on the front (no names on the back) but most likely not that much cheaper. Also note that booster will add a "small shipping fee" so in the end, the shirt will be more than $35. Not sure how much more tho. With this option, I would just create 1 design/shirt style & color. I don't think we will sell enough if we had more than 1 shirt style.
The other 2 options to decrese the cost of the shirt most likely:
1) Go direct with CustomInk and have them shipped to a single location. Then ship to each other location.
2) Everyone order's their own no mimimum shirt at CustomInk
You will have to design your own shirt using the final images that I will eventually post
(will be similar to what is above - with Khan Academy & Wounded Warrior taken off)
3) Everyone order's their own from whatever shirt making company
Also using a common front & back images
Need everyone's opinion. is $35+ too much for a shirt? I can look into the other options and get better pricing if that is the direction we want to go into.0
